Abstract

In spite of the increasing education level and labour participation, several studies conclude that working conditions differ by gender in Colombia. This study based on multiple correspondence analysis applied to data from the Household Integrated Sample Survey in two different periods, 2007 and 2014, is aimed at studying the Colombian labour market segmentation by gender using social perceptual maps that facilitate the comparison of the general structure of the markets and their evolution over time. The results support the thesis of labour market segmentation, with clear differences in wages and in sectors and conditions of employment, as well as a delay in the evolution of the women labour market.
